This follows earlier rumors that LG is looking to wedge itself in the 5-inch smartphone market that was launched by the Samsung Galaxy Note 2.

Here's a look at what we're excited to see at CES:

Going ga-ga over LG's GA7900

LG also unveiled the GA7900 today during its press conference. This is one of seven new Google TVs the company is showing off at CES this year, but it's the most high-end of the models.

The TV works with a Bluetooth remote that has a keyboard on the back. What's more, couch potatoes don't have to life a finger to change the channel. The GA7900 also offers voice control to search for a program.

Panasonic's clever Smart TV

Panasonic gave CES attendees a peek at its new flagship plasma TV, the ZT60, which includes some impressive new features such as a web browser, three HDMIs, three USB ports, wireless LAN and Viera screen tech.

Other specs include the standard 1080p resolution, 2D-3D conversion, and active shutter 3D.

Panasonic mentioned that the ZT60, along with a few new models, will be available next month. But it didn't give us any specifics on a release date or price.

Haier's 'TV of the future'

CES always brings out the cool, innovative toys, and Haier's "TV of the future" is no exception.

HP monitors get Beats

HP has not been shy in using its Beats license on any product it can wave at a trade show, and this has continued through its monitor range - the Envy 27 also bringing a slim profile, edge-to-edge glass and a $499 price tag.

We're busy getting hands on at CES. Take a look at what our favorites are so far:

Hands on with Huawei Ascend D2

Huawei has had a busy CES. Not only did it announce what can only be described as theginormous Ascend Mate, but they also showed off the Ascend D2 - its attempt at a high-end device offered alongside its budget handsets.

Underwhelmed by the Samsung Ativ Odyssey

We're glad it's finally out in the open, but after seeing its international comrade, the Ativ S, we can't help but be a little bit disappointed. What happened to that big, beautiful 4.8-inch 720 x 1280 display?

The Ativ Odyssey is a more compact phone, with dimensions more like the HTC 8X than the Samsung Ativ S - which has the biggest display of any Windows Phone.

First impressions of Microsoft Surface Pro

Even though the complete details surrounding the Microsoft's Surface Pro are hush-hush, we were lucky enough get some hands on time with the device.

Unlike the already-released Surface RT, the Surface Windows 8 Pro is a full-power PC that you use like a notebook, or a tablet, or both. It runs Windows 8 Pro and all the desktop Windows applications you want, but it's still a touch-friendly tablet that you can rip the keyboard off of when you don't need it.

Getting touchy-feely with the Samsung Series 7 Chronos

The Samsung Series 7 Chronos laptop was definitely the "bell of the ball" at CES 2013.

Samsung made some slight improvements to this series, which yielded some impressive results in this particular piece of hardware.

The Chronos is a seriously good looking laptop that manages to be thin and light, but has enough power to make it feel like a decent desktop replacement. The keyboard was great to use and has the added advantage of being backlit.

Samsung's top of the range plasma TV

Samsung's latest 51F8500 has the kind of design that its designers simply couldn't get away with on a run-of-the-mill living room TV, this totally gunmetal-gleaned 51-inch TV has a D-shaped curve emanating from the front of the TV that acts as a desktop stand.

If nothing else the 51F8500's ambitious design marks a re-statement of Samsung's confidence in the oft-ignored plasma tech.
